Why cant I use rectTransform on UI.Button?

Questions & Answers
1

for (int x = 0; x < xList.Count; x++ )
{
myY -= 30;
Button newUser = Instantiate(listButton) as Button;
txtUsername.text = gameArray[x, 1];
newUser.transform.parent = listPanel.transform;
newUser.rectTransform.anchoredPosition = new Vector2(0, myY);
}

This works great with UI.Text elements. Why wouldn’t this work for all UI elements?

How else am I going to set the anchoredPosition?

Nevermind, I figured it out. You kinda have to do a kabooki dance with RectTransform.

            for (int x = 0; x < xList.Count; x++ )
            {
                myY -= 30;
                Button newUser = Instantiate(listButton) as Button;
                txtUsername.text = gameArray[x, 1];
                newUser.transform.parent = listPanel.transform;
                RectTransform transform = newUser.gameObject.transform as RectTransform;
                Vector2 position = transform.anchoredPosition;
                transform.anchoredPosition = new Vector2(0, myY);
            }
